Well, last week, Microsoft said they’d used the Perceptive Pixel technology to launch a whole new series of Surface Hubs that range in sizes from 55” to 84” and includes the ability for two people to interactive (true multi-touch) with the screen simultaneously - both can use septa styluses at the same time, too.

Then, Fox News bought a plethora of them for Shepard Smith’s Fox News Deck set back in 2013. It’s an 84” multi-touch LCD - remember, Microsoft, a few years back, bought a company called Perceptive Pixel in 2012 - they were probably, at that time, most famous for providing CNN with their big multi-touch touchscreen during the 20 election seasons.

Then, in 2013, InFocus launched the Mondopad. But, since then, we’ve seen LCD panels get bigger and cheaper and companies like Sharp and Clary Icon have taken chunks of the market and have helped re-invent the category. Smart started back in the late ’80s making interactive products and by the end of the ’90s, they had a 92 percent market share in the electronic (or interactive) whiteboard market in schools, worldwide, and nearly an 80 percent market share in the corporate market for the fancy whiteboards. And, the way the mainstream press is eating it up as if it’s an innovative, first-of-its-kind, well, interactive LCD panel, you’d have thought that Microsoft would have invented it. Microsoft entered the large-screen interactive LCD panel market last week with the launch of what it’s calling the Surface Hub. So much so that Microsoft has now, well, copied it - but, have they even made it better? Although SMART Technologies invented the interactive whiteboard market, and therefore indirectly invented the interactive display market, companies like InFocus - with Mondopad - and Clary Icon as well as Sharp have developed it into more of a mainstream product category in recent years.
